SE DEDICATION “To Our Old Red Building” A place which we will always hold dear in our hearts. A place where we have formed many lasting friendships. No new building, no matter how rand it may be, can ever mean as much to the class of 1916 as your red brick walls, and lon flights of stairs. For these reasons and in remembrance of the happy days we have had within your walls, we here- by dedicate this book, the Maroon and White, to you. — — Our New School Building Education, scholarship and culture are not necessarily dependent upon any school building or any specific equipment, nevertheless, surroundings, convenience and equipment, have much to do with ease and degree of efficiency acquired in scholarship. While we regret very much that the class of 1916 will not have the privilege of graduating from a new hall of learning, still we are glad of the promise which the future holds for the pupils who shall succeed us in the old H. H. S. Someone has said that the finest word in any language is “Service.” Surely the service that shall be rendered, when this new home of our high school shall be complete ought to make for greater efficiency, a higher degree of scholar- ship, and a higher type of manhood and womanhood. At present our fond desire of many years seems a vague, far-away realization. For five years this has been the one burning question. Many times has it !)een buried under a great avalanche of votes, only to rise again with revived energy, for it cannot be downed by its opponents, legally or otherwise. Surely such perseverance will win out and before long we shall lie able to point with pride to the new Hastings High School. April 20, 1916. Wm. T.

Rogers-------History and Athletics Anchored The students of the Hastings High School in the year 2000 decided to publish an Annual in accordance with the custom of all their worthy predeces- sors, even back to those ancient times when school had actually been held in the old red building on the hill. To me was given the pleasant task of search- ing in unknown lands for the faculty of 1916, for while their influence still lingered in that school yet all earthly trace had been lost of them. With a few companions I immediately started in search of that place where I knew they must he. for there could exist nowhere a land more fitted for them than that famous place called Utopia. After days of endless search in regions of light and of darkness we reached it.;—a land more perfect and beautiful than human mind could imagine. In the middle of this country was a palace where the controlling powers of that land resided and we entered here to inquire concerning those we were in search of. In the executive office, to our amazement but pleasure, we found our former Supt. Lederle, surrounded by a switch board with which he could communicate to all parts of the building, and at his right hand was the familiar figure of I ‘rincipal allace who was at that time busily engaged in picking up a few bits of scrap paper and was softly humming to himself a “Jewel” tune. After friendly greetings had been exchanged we made our errand known and were told that because of the excellency and efficiency of our former faculty they had been given complete charge of that planet called Earth, and because of the great- ness of their duties, they all had offices in that building. Mr. Wallace offered to be our guide thru the building and allow us to visit each one. I he first room we visited was very near the office and we were told that here all the grievances of the earth were brought and always peaceably and justly settled. Here at the desk sat Mrs. Renkes but we were not greatly sur- prised for her work here was but a continuance of the work she had so long carried on in the old H. H. S.—that of mothering and looking after the rights of all. She told us that her work was comparatively easy with the exception of one offense which continually confronted her—and that was the obnoxious habit of gum chewing( ?) Across the hall we found Prof. Kebler to whom had been given charge of all plant and animal life on earth. He was at that time engaged in a verv 8 9 serious problem, trying scientifically to figure out the connection between Fresh- men and the color green. In a very large and spacious room three fair beings reigned who had control of the languages of the earth. After the terrible European war of 1914-1916, the German language became nearly extinct and Miss Meier was very busy trying to reestablish it. Miss Thomas was happy over the fact that there were still a few teachers faithful enough to the old Romans to labor with Latin in our schools on earth. Miss Andrus’ duties were very res] onsible because English was fast becoming the universal language. Next we entered the historians’ room. Here, seated upon a high stool, b°- fore an immense desk was Prof. Rogers, energetically writing page after page in a huge leather volume. He seemed very absorbed in his work and we won- dered what great event or character was just being recorded in History. Mr. W allace told us that he was compiling a volume of biography of the great Theodore Roosevelt and we. realizing what a great and noble task he had taken upon himself tiptoed breathlessly out lest we should disturb him. Our visit to the observatory took us to a room in the dome which was filled with many maps and telescopes and here, directing the movement of the solar system was Miss DeYoe. She was deeply absorbed in some new work she had just taken up, that of trying to construct bv geometry a high school wherein the Freshmen could really Ire seated in the assembly room. Suddenly a queer sensation came over us. We felt ourselves growing smaller and smaller until it seemed as if we were reduced to the size of a molecule. It was a strange sensation yet a familiar one, ah ves, was that not Mr. Hinckley standing in the door looking at us—certainly for that was the same feeling we had so often experienced in the old high school when he had asked us to explain some unexplainable thing. The feeling quickly passed, however, with his warm greetings and Mr. Wallace explained that because of his profound knowledge of science he had been given complete charge of all physical and chemical changes in connection with the earth. In the accountants room we found Miss F'itz and Mr. Hartgerink. Miss Fitz was typewriting business letters for Mr. Lederle, and Mr. Hartgerink, hav- ing charge of the finances of the earth, was posting his books. As we were leaving this room the gong sounded, so we inquired alxxit those faculty members of whom we had seen nothing. Mr. Boyd’s room we were told was next to that of Miss Fitz and Mr. Hartgerink, and he had charge of the erection of all new buildings. Miss Roger’s room was also near by, and she had the important and envied task of creating and determining the styles for each season. Mrs. Stem had also been given a pleasant duty for she had charge of the music on earth in the direction of which she had been very success- ful and it was confidentially told that she even had one school that could sing “Pats Pick’’ thru without missing a note. Our time had passed quickly. We would have liked to linger longer, but as the Annual was to be published in June we realized we must hasten back with our news, glad to have learned that our high school faculty of 1916 were numbered among the profound influences upon human development. 10 11 Class colors—Maroon and White. 12 CLASS YELL Eo triumphe Eo triumphe Haben swaben Kluwes got em Hoop to Chuck de snell devere De boom de rah de Milopah Henneke honneke whack de whick Scotty I lube Curt and Snick Joe and Stub Grace and Chub Bel de bora, bora de bel Scoop and Clary and Arnell Con slom i de bah— Seniors rah!

A symbol of completeness as this number has been, fitting is it that seven should be the number of our students, whose honor it is to wear the laurels of scholarship from our school. “But who are these victors?” You ask. In response comes the reply, “They are but seven of that countless throng, our young Americans,” upon whom the greatest nation this old world of ours has ever produced is even now, in all the pride of its strength, dependent for the maintenance and furthering of its future.” Judged by human standards they are the winners in this first real challenge that the world has offered them, their high school life. Not that they possess so much of wisdom, do we thus honor these seven, since for them the mazy pathways, of learning are as yet all but untrod, but because, doing what men have ever done, we accord praise and distinction to these winners in the contest. As the schoolrooms shall soon say “Good-bye” to these, our school champions of 1916, and as their joyous, eager, earnest faces, with those of their classmates, touched with the flush of dawn, turn towards the light of a fuller day with its toil and its burdens, kindly memories and kindlier wishes shall ever follow them, yes, earnest prayers, that a Heavenly Father's blessings may reach this world in even fuller measure, through the as yet, unused channels of their lives. Glass History I he Class of l'B6 is a living example of the fact that a modest beginning often makes a brilliant ending. Although we were in numbers the largest class to enter the Hastings High we displayed in our freshmen year very little of the ability and originality for which we have come to be distinguished. In fact in our first year we were so completely wrapped with the cloak of innocency and verdance that even the usual freshmen party was omitted. And no wonder! For with the first year Latin under Miss Allison, and Mr. Hinckley leading some of us through the intricate masses of Algebra with his famous tests as frequent climaxes, all social pleasures were necessarily put in the background. We were known as a class of High Brows” for by using X as the unknown number we were able to figure out within a few years the time when Hastings would have a new school house. In our freshmen year we demonstrated to the sophomores that we were not lacking in bravery for in the annual Tug of War our sturdy boys easily drew their narrow-chested opponents across the raging waters of the Thorn- apple. Satisfied with this demonstration of our powers we again resumed our intellectual pursuits. This year the declamatory prizes were won by two of our members Arnell Wolfe and Marguerite Hall. As sophomores we regained confidence in our ability to play the social game and so we gave our first party. And with what wrangles and disputes! The party was given in the Masonic Hall which was very prettily decorated in our class colors, maroon and white. Many clever games were played and much fun resulted. It was at this time that Mrs. Henkes aroused so much interest in the de- clamatory and oratorical contests and many were the sophomores who determined to test their declamatory powers. The unusual talent of our members was proven when three sophomores Keith Chidester, Aimee Henkes and Marguerite Hall carried off first, second and third honors respectively. The district contest was held in Hastings that year and on the same evening we had our first annual banquet, held in the basement of the Methodist church. The sophomores were represented by Dorothy Cook. As Juniors we planned to have a party early in the year in order to become better acquainted. It was a pleasant affair held at the Masonic Temple, our faculty members Miss Andrus and Mr. Hogers giving fine assistance. Who can ever forget the weighty arguments advanced by the participants in the mock debate, “Shall we be Allowed to Exercise our Bovin Tendencies in school ?” For their superior argumentative powers on the affirmative side, Charles Todd and Blanche Brock were presented with a box of candv. I !iis year we were eligible to enter the oratorical contest and again three of our members, carried oft the honors, Keith Chidester winning first, Aimee Menkes second and Arnell W olfe third. The second High School banquet was another successful social affair, Gard- ner Chidester and Lola Lower representing our class on the program. Later in the year what scrambles there were for encyclopedias and reference hooks! This commotion was caused by the debate, “Shall Our National Defences he Increased, in which the junior and senior Lnglish classes took part. And what a power of strength Coach Rogers proved to those on the affirmative side with his ready information about Roosevelt’s ideas on the subject! As Juniors ac- cording to the usual custom it fell to our lot to give a partv to the departing Seniors. ith aid of green branches, ferns and cozy corners, Reed’s Opera House was transformed. Our president, Curtis Bottum, welcomed the Seniors and Harold Houvenor responded in behalf of that class. A musical and literary program followed. 1 he latter part of the evening was spent in dancing and pretty favors and fine music made it most enjoyable. However our Senior year has proven the most enjoyable and profitable of all. We naturally gave our support to the Junior Journal, the fine play given by the Juniors, for it was hinted that the proceeds were to go towards giving the farewell party at the end of the year. In order to defray the expenses of the Maroon and White, Miss Agnes Mitchell gave an evening of very fine readings and the Alabama Jubilee Singers an evening of music. Roth of these were put on under the auspices of the Senior class and proved to be very enjoyable. The third High School banquet held in February was perhaps the finest one yet held, Arnell Wolfe, the president of our class, was the toastmaster and Gerald Bush represented the senior class in the toasts. Never before has so much interest been displayed in the declamatory and oratorical contests as this year. In the latter Aimee Henkes carried off first honor and Margery Reynolds the second. Arnell Wolfe third, all members of the class of 1916. Graduation has come and the class of 1916 undoubedly graduates with the highest per cent of standing in the history of Hastings High. During our four years we have had three superintendents, Mr. Conkling, Mr. Ellsworth and Mr. Lederle, and five of the High School faculty have been with us the entire term, Mrs. Renkes, Miss DeYoe, Miss Meier, Principal Wallace, and Mr. Hinckley. As we have reached the end of our school life in Hastings we realize that the dearest associations of life are those formed during our high school days and that these associations must soon be broken. As we go out into life the lessons we have learned and the pleasant memories of the class of 1916 will always remain with us, and the J ' r say of our school, “Pride of ou 15 Arnell Wolfe—“Arnel!” Strength and wisdom sits upon his broiv, Ail secrets are as liquid water to his mind” B l a n c h e Broc k —“ B rockic” “Her countenance was a thing to dream of, hair, expressive, filled with understand- ing 9 Hubert Bronson— Hube” “7 he love he bore to learning was in fault, The tillage all declared hoiv much he knew” Sadie Silbee—“Sadie Mae” “What infinite power, charm, wit, vivac- ity.

It is an established tradition to expect that each succeeding class will display a little more genius than its predecessors. This is a demand in an age of evolu- tion. 1 he present class appreciates the quality of the work of the preceding ones, but good enough is not sufficient for this class, they are ambitious,—ambitious so far as rendering service to the coming generations. I he bird sings for no wages, the flower blooms for no hire, and the labor of learning is repaid by the joy of utterance.” All work is for the worker, and the work of the teacher has been, is, and always will be the most momentous of all the professions. A true spirit is one which is gladdened by the performance of labor, so this class with its untried future and ties of friendship is a happy, as well as a useful one. Long will it remember the happy days spent in the dear old Normal Room despite the somewhat inefficient air blast and the steep flight of stairs ascending to the office and critic room. Oh, they regret to part with their training school which will not see them 1 ack but which will receive other student teachers under its beloved faculty, to whom this class is indebted as well as to the State Department of Education. Although the time of preparation is passed tlicir days are as their motto indicates. “Not Completed, but begun. Elmer Bush alias “Bushy. Class President.

S. An illustrious class that was, and ably led by Mildred Ketcbam, president; Gerald Steinke, vice-president; Justin Muhlitner, treasurer and Frances Edmonds, secretary. That this class had social aspirations was proven by the splendid success( ?) of our first party, a sleigh ride to Freeport. We also played well our part in that first high school banquet when Mildred Ketcham toasted the class of ’17. The second year dawned bright and clear for us and this band, no longer babies, entered confidently and surely into work and play. The officers for this year were Earl Demaray, president; Dona Stuart, vice-president; Gerald Steinke, treasurer, and Frances Edmonds, secretary. Our social position was made doubly secure by a class party. Now we began to play an important part in school activities. 1917 helped to win victories in football and baseball. Earl Demaray won the local declamatory contest and represented Hastings i the sub-district and district contests. Hut not only in social activities did we excel all of the other classes. At the second annual banquet, not only the name and fame of the Sophomores was raised to the highest degree when we gained the honor for giving the best class yell, but also that of the whole High School, which was proud to boast of so fine a class. Now we are Juniors; each year adds to our fame and glory. Hamer Herbert was chosen as president; Gerald Steinke. vice-president; Marion Houvener, treasurer, and Ruth Yester, secretary. In order to show that our talents are many and varied, our social and scholastic position being secure, we turned to dramatics. On December tenth the Junior Journal, original in every way, was presented and declared bv everyone to be the success of the season. The future as yet has not been revealed, but we know that it will be as bright and rosy and as full of honors as the past. 37 SMOIN.lf Junior Journal As the Junior Journal said, 'I he Freshman is green on the surface, The Sophomore is polished a hit, 1 he Juniors are there when there is fun in the air, But the Seniors are simply It.” hat a great all inspiring truth lies wrapped up in that sentence, truly noble yet so modest. Hut if we, the Seniors, consider ourselves ‘‘It’’ we must certainly admit that next to us in brilliancy and cleverness comes our worthy followers the Juniors, who demonstrated beyond doubt their unusual power and ability when they formally presented to the public on Dec. 10. 1915 the “Junior Journal.” This play which was one of the most novel and original ever put on by the Hastings High School was in the form of a journal containing short stories and poems (all written by Juniors), jokes, advertisements, and such es- sentials as are usually included between the covers of a truly great magazine. After some excellent music by the high school orchestra the curtain rose, disclosing a part of the stage arranged as a pretty- living room where a junior girl was awaiting the arrival of a party of friends. Soon they rushed in. all excited over the thrilling football game they had witnessed. Hats and coats were thrown aside, every one talking at once, when one of them discovered the last number of the Junior Journal on the table Of course all were at once interested. As they looked at and exclaimed over the cover the audience could see the same in tableau at the other side of the stage. All pictures and adver- tisements were treated likewise. When they had finished reading the magazine the entire class came upon the stage and after singing the “Yellow and the White” gave their unique yell. Thus ended a most novel play. 39 40 1918 In the beautiful fall of 1914, nearly a hundred shy, frightened children en- tered the higher hall of learning known as the High School. Their progress was wonderful. No freshman class ever adapted itself to conditions as well and quickly as this one. I he taunts of the upper classes meant nothing to them for they had set out to win everything worth while. 1 imidity soon vanished and they proved themselves wise beyond their years by organizing their class and in a way governing themselves. Lee Randall was chosen President with Florence Doyle, Vice-President, Reatha Eckert, Sec- retary and Josephine Spaulding Treasurer. The class chose Mrs. Chester Stem and Mr. Wallace for their faculty members. Organization was the key-note of the year. First, it won the tug-of-war for them, an almost unheard-of tiling for a freshman class. Then it spelled success for the freshman party, an event which had been omitted years before for reasons with which we are all familiar. The F'reshman party of Feb. 2, 1915 was a unique affair—a strongly guarded affair and they were unjustly accused of showing their weakness by protecting themselves against a few ruffian upper-class men. This act only showed their good judgment and good judgment can never be called weakness. This ended the first lesson. The Sophomore year opened with an increase of life and spirit promising wonderful things for the future. However, they put business before pleasure and elected the following officers: Florence Doyle, Pres.. Josephine Spaulding, Yice-Pres., Lee Randall. 1 reas., and Edna Winslow, Sec. Miss Fitz and Mrs. Stem were chosen faculty members. The State convention of the Y. M. C. A. was held at Kalamazoo in the fall of 1915 to which the class sent Harold Smith and Omar Ward as representa- tives ; thev appreciated the honor very much and proved themselves worthy representatives. The spirit of the class increased and spread until it could almost be said to resemble that of a tempest. That is the reason why The I empest’ was given Omar Ward as the subject for his toast at the 11. S. banquet Feb. 29, 1916. Mr. Ward explained that, although their acts sometimes proved them worthy of the name. Tempest, yet underneath it all they were worthy of higher praise and all they ask is time, in the years to come, to prove it. Upon March 3. 1916, the Sophomore party was given in St. Rose Hall. The pleasant memories of this party will always remain in the minds of those present. Surely this class can never be surpassed in the number of efficient members to plan and carry out successfully, any project, business or social. The future holds its reward for this wonderful class. SOPHOMORES 4 W X ‘- % 43 1919 About eight months ago the doors of the Hastings High School flew open and ninety-nine bright young freshmen entered into its tender care and guidance, only to develop into the flourishing class of 1919. The first few weeks we stalked about with a lordly air though we fairly shook in our boots when any of the upper-classmen looked at us, but when accustomed to the atmosphere we felt quite at home. We held our first class meeting in September and organized, electing the fol- lowing class officers: President, Josephine Homing; Vice-president, Arthur diets; secretary, Kingsley Anderson; and treasurer, Maude Quigley. Later purple and gold were chosen for our class colors and we showed our loyalty by wearing them immediately. On February 4 occurred the Freshman party which will long be remem- bered as one of the finest parties ever given in the school’s history. Our valiant boys all eluded, or escaped from the hands of the watchful Sophomores and everything passed off exactly as planned. ()f course we all know the hardships of Freshman life and how we are looked dow n upon by the upper-classmen because we have not yet done any- thing. Hut oh! they should know the things we are going to do! We are sure that among our number are several future governors, some senators and a few great suffragettes. We feel confident in future years the upper-classmen who frowned upon us will look with ever-increasing respect and admiration u| on their former friends of high school days. 44 XH1VIIS3HJ L Mathematics Club 1 lie Mathematics Club of the Hastings High School was organized under the direction of Miss De oe in January 1915, for the purpose of promoting interest in mathematics and to study some subjects in science and mathematics not given in the regular school courses. Any student who has taken more mathematics than beginning algebra may he a member and there are now more fban sixty' members. The names of members whose standing in mathematics is 95% or above are placed on the honor roll. It is probable that the standard for membership will be raised still higher, so that each member may he con- sidered as having achieved certain success in mathematics. The club has its meeting the second Thursday evening of each month. These meetings usually consist of a program, a social hour and refreshments, each part carried out by a committee appointed for that purpose. Studying the stars is one of the amusements, also trving to see eclipses on cloudy nights. I’rof. C. B. Williams of the Mathematics Department of Kala- mazoo College addressed the club at an opening meeting in November. Stere- opticon views of pictures taken at Yerkes Observatory; Lake Geneva, Wis. was given at another meeting. Each program gives something worth while both in the way of instruction and recreation; interest in the club is strengthening this department in the school. The following are the present officers: President...............Wm. McKnight Secretary................... rnell Wolfe Vice-President ----Gardner Chidester Treasurer.................Majory Reynolds 46 The Orchestra I lie High School Orchestra is still a very voung organization. Three years ago a beginning was made with Mr. Mercer as leader- A great deal of interest was shown from the start and a splendid foundation laid for future wdrk. Last year, 1914-1915, the orchestra was again organized by Mrs. Stem. It was composed of three violins, two clarinets, two drums and piano. This or- chestra made a splendid record for itself in Hastings and through-out the county. Several concerts were given in nearby towns and much pleasure ex- perienced by all concerned. This year the work of the orchestra speaks for itself. The thought of work never enters the mind of a single member, although some really difficult and classical compositions have been mastered. The orchestra is always invited to play at the parties and entertainments connected with the school during the year, and the music is always much enjoyed by every one, for the call comes again and again, “More, More. More.” As to the ability and genius of this orchestra there can be no doubt. Why when the “Evening Star” from Taunhauser is played the effect is so soothing that even the orchestra itself is lulled into peaceful slumbers. Then again, 'Here Comes I he Band is so martial that everyone begins to march. The violinists are, Gerald England, Harold Anderson, Cecil Wilson and Josephine Spaulding. Cornets, Roy Adrianson, and Victor Dixon. Drums, Hubert Bronson. Piano, Sadie Mae Silsbee. Director, Mrs. C. B. Stem. Mr. E. A. Patton often kindly assists with his saxaphone. 47 Girls’ Glee Glub During the last few years many Girls’ Glee Clubs have been formed. Some of them have done commendable work but never has there been as efficient a club as this year under the direction of Mrs Stem. The organization numbers about thirty. The voices are all very good and the parts well balanced. The clubs and organizations of the city enjoy hearing the Glee Club and often invite them to appear on their programs. The girls always carry with them a bright, happy spirit which goes far in making their work a success. The musical ability of the Club is unusually strong and no doubt we shall hear some time in the future that several of the girls have developed their ex- cellent talents. 48 Boys’ Glee Club This is the first Boys' (ilee Club” organized in the old H. 11. S. Much spirit was shown among the boys in September and soon about twenty voices began work under Mrs. Stem's direction. Their progress was rapid and at the Thanksgiving Operetta” given bv the grammar grades November 23, 1915, which was their first appearance before the public, they were greeted with en- thusiasm and were compelled to respond to several encores. Since their success- ful debut, they have been very popular, singing at the school, concerts, the high school banquet, and the second Barry County Y. M. C. A. Boys' Conference at Middleville. It's true that they are sometimes noisy during practice hours but aside from all their natural mischievousness, they work hard and have mastered really difficult music. The future of this club is yet to be seen but surely there is a Caruso among its members- 49 44 Staff � � Faculty Supervisors.. Mrs. Renkes ami Mr. Lederle.

THE STAFF. 50 The I fastings Schools and Their Mission The people of Hastings believe it to be the function of the public school to serve all the people in all ways possible. To this end, they have tried to keep their schools abreast of the times and to provide their children with the best equipment for life that lies within their means. The Hastings schools are generally considered among the best in the state and it is the desire of the people to keep them in first rank. They realize that this can be done only by advancing and progressing and not by being satisfied to let things stand as they are. They know that good schools cost money and they are willing to tax themselves liberally for the same, providing the money is wisely and profitably spent. That the people get value received is born out by an examination of the work of the schools. 1 he pupils, parents and teachers work in close sympathy and coopera- tion to the end of making the schools the very best possible and the school authorities are always pleased to have any suggestions from the public. 1 he quality of the work in the grades of the Hastings schools is about as good as the average but it is not quite in keeping with the high standard of the High School. Four fifths of the children in the public schools are in the grades and many of them never get beyond the grammar department. The people real- ize that it is to these children that they are most deeply obligated, as main of them are forced out of school early through economic pressure. They, there- fore. are anxious to raise the standard of instruction and equipment in the grades and are working rapidly to that end- The peoj'le believe with John Dewey that “School is Life and not merely preparation for life as some have thought. Consequently the schools try to have their various activities approximate life outside of school as nearly as jxjssible and they give many different courses so that all may have an equal chance no matter what their inclination may be. ()nly about 5% of the high school gradu- ates go into professions for which the traditional high school course prepared, such as law. medicine, teaching and the ministry. The 95%, however, has not been entirely overlooked in Hastings as other courses are offered, and the people are to be congratulated upon the fine beginning that they have made in thus expanding the scope of the high school work. It is only necessary for one to go into the agricultural, commercial, manual arts, household arts and normal departments and observe the boys and girls happily engaged in their various activities to know that the people acted wisely in instituting these courses. Hastings is proud of her schools and with a close and sympathetic cooperation between the people and the school authorities we hope that the schools may continue to advance, so that the people may ever be justified in pointing to them with pride. 51 Fhe Humor of High School Life History is said to repeat itself. If so what a gay, pleasant and rythmical repetition our high school life must lie. From the paleceous headed freshies who with a smile of varisemblance on their ideograms, flee from the vengeful sophs, to the seniors of striking effulgence, we are a happy lot. Although our cares are few, this high school life is a serious thing. The Freshmen, however, do not seem to realize this, for they all wish they were staid and stately seniors. “Wise men don't need advice and fools won’t take it, but, freshies listen, some of us Seniors have stayed so long that we are becoming stale and I might say even permanent fixtures in this institution. Re- member graduation is said to be a survival of the fittest hut it is also an elimina- tion of the poorest. We have known of cases where it took nearly a decade to chase down a bona-fide sheeps pelt. But let’s turn from the young ones, the Freshies, and give this space to our every day school life. In our ordinary school life we are great students, now don’t think of every day life as common for it is very uncommon” to see us studying. hive days out of each week we congregate under the roof of the brain factory about sixteen minutes to nine o'clock in the morning. Here we remain for a short time meditating on the easiest way to get through the classes for the morn- ing. (Note—this is sometimes called studying.) Then we go to classes and crowd our heads with everything from Chinese soup recipes to Newton’s three laws of motion. In the high room we work for the night is coming, while dodging rubbers from the pussy-footed bomb throwers that inhabit the place. When a book is needed from the library, and the guard in arms leaves the room, we have an exciting pen throwing contest. A pen-throwing contest is an exhibition in which the most expert cut-ups attempt to see who can throw the most pens and stick them in the ceiling. Usually when this contest is about half through the door opens and some of the contestants get—well Dante wrote a good description of it. Some of the most dangerous aspirants carry six-shooters (this is novelessue for aqua revolvers) making it unsafe to start out for a magazine without an umbrella. At night after the daily toil is done the book worms homeward plod their weary wavs. ( f personalities there is little to say, we are fine that's all. just fine. Athleti- cally speaking we have a few tight-wads among us. That is, those who have mistaken the purpose of money. A penny is worth only one cent even if it does have some compressed statuary on it. Many a young fellow considers himself a good spender hut does not stop to think that he is the only one considering himself as such. These people are not adding machines, you can’t count on them. There are many phases of our high school life, it is a great subject—inter- esting because of its indefiniteness. Its the capital stock of most graduates and will never be forgotten by most of them. As long as we have won on the athletic field and have chapel twice a month we are happy, so flow on, ()! Fountain of Knowledge, and forever let thy waters sparkle. 52 Phe Ideal of School Life Laying all joking aside, high school life means vastly more than the “Humor of High School Life” indicates. Few could attend the high school through four years without getting there- from ideas which they will carry with them, “out of school life into life’s school.” Just as there is a permanence about a road,—just as it is difficult to obliterate the traces of the simplest path which men have trodden,—so is there permanence to many of the best things which every thoughtful student gleans throughout his years of high school life. Down through the years that have come and gone since language first con- veyed meaning, there are three words that have represented factors of great importance in broadening, deepening and enriching the stream of human life;— those three words, “Thought, “Knowledge” and “Service are instilled into the mind of every careful student, to a greater or less extent, in high school life, influencing his whole career when he gets out into life’s school. “Thought,’ which school life aims to develop, is the master of action and the instigator of every forward movement. There is an old proverb that runs. As a man thinketh, so he is. From this saying we may learn that straight and true thinking is the framework of all progress. The second of these words. “Knowledge, is the thing that vitalizes men’s sense of obligation to humanity—it is the connecting link between “Thought and “Service —it is the thing that helps us to develop “Wisdom. Someone has said that the finest word in any language is “Service” and our high school life to some extent teaches all of us that truest service is that applica- tion of the Golden Rule which has for its text, “Help the other fellow. Thus school life means that we shall learn to think soberly and earnestly, seek knowledge as a possession more valuable than riches, and consecrate our highest endeavors to the service of humanity. Here’s hoping that school life to every member of the class of 1916 has meant the best, fullest preparation ever made in school for three score and ten years of service.” gltljUtirs Coach Verne E. Rogers The “Yellow and White” has surely been fortunate the last two years in having a man of the caliber of Coach Rogers to lead in athletics. Since he has had charge of our athletes our teams have come to the front. Coach Rogers is an athlete of wide I reputation and wc believe him to be one of the best high school coaches in the state and feel sure you will hear big things of him in the future, for he is surely a comer. Football The clearness, the cleanness, the vitality of Autumn characterizes Autumn’s sport so that when the first call for volunteers was heard and the first night of practice came, a crowd of eager young fellows reported at the gridiron. They soon became proficient in passing and falling on the ball and the more exciting scrimages and signal practice became the nightly routine- It was, however, with insufficient practice that Hastings met Eaton Rapids the 25th of Sept, on the home field. Although it resulted in a victory for the visitors, it was a valuable practice game for us. so that the next week in the game with Kalamazoo Central, the Celery City Coach played but few of bis second string men. ben an eager and over confident Nashville came to Hastings with the very evident intention of settling all old scores and literally wiping the ground with the Gold and White they were met with a sad surprise. A hardened team took the ball with the first kickoff and in less than three minutes the scores stood Hastings 7, Nashville 0. When the game was surely ours Nashville came across our line for a belated touchdown and then proceeded to kick a beautiful goal, but it is unnecessary to relate that this alone saved them from a most ig- nominious shut-out. A peculiar characteristic of the game with Ionia was the fact that every way of scoring was tried with success but once. Hastings was sadly defeated but it was an undaunted team that met Eaton Rapids on the banks of the Grand River. Hastings fought with more than usual vigor and time and again were about to score only to be carried back bv the Superior weight of the other team. I he final score did not show the fight our men put up but each touchdown for the home team was contested every inch of the way. Hastings undoubtedly played the best game of the season on ()ctober 29 with I’elding at the end of which I fastings had the big end of a score of 21 and 7. Flushed with this victory Hastings traveled to Nashville to be defeated there by a loyal Nashville man who acted as referee; a field goal was the score that Nashville managed to get from our 20 yard line and not once during the ensuing quarters did she again approach so near to the last white line. For imaginary offenses Hastings was penalized on an average of once a minute and the game ended after darkness had kindly settled on the field to shut from our eves a I fastings defeat by a twelve man team. The next two games were fought with Charlotte each team winning the one on her home field. The total of the scores for the two conflicts was 24 for Hastings and 23 for Charlotte. On Thanksgiving day the If. If. S. played the last game of the season, the annual event with the Alumni Many of them were College players, but through lack of team work and practice as a team, they were defeated by the High School Eleven. 56 Football Football Lineup L.

Because of the fact that a majority of these continued to practice a winning team resulted. Out of a total of eleven games, seven ended in decided victories for H. H. S. and a total of all the scores gives this gratifying result; Opponents 229, Hastings 361. The first game of the season was played with Kalamazoo Central on their lloor. The I lastings fellows showed up individually well but there was a marked lack of team work that lead to their defeat. However on January 13 the H. 11. S. made up for this loss by beating the Independents in such an approved clean style that the men had no further wish to demonstrate their superior ability. The next night the boys went to Grand Rapids, but tired from the previous evenings strenuous playing gave, what would have otherwise been an easy vic- tory to the opposing team. On the 24th Hastings gave battle to Lowell’s five and after putting up a magnificent fight were defeated in the last minutes of play. By this time a decided improvement in the teams playing was evident and the fifth game of the year was a cinch for the now eager and winning team. After defeat at the hands of Charlotte the High School entered upon a series of victories that was uninterrupted the rest of the season. South Grand Rapids was defeated in a beautiful and delightful way and the erst-while victorious Ixnvell succumbed before Hastings brilliant and dashing attack. In our return game with Charlotte the previous defeat was returned with considerable interest and not once was there a question as to the outcome. When I lastings answered South Grand Rapids challenge and defeated them on their own floor the fellows believed themselves to lx fully able to cope with the College men from Kalamazoo. The visitors were fully as confident and at the end of the first half the score stood 10 10. But in the last 20 minutes of play our score was doubled and the visitors—(we draw a curtain before their ignominious defeat). The season was one of the most successful in the annals of the school. 5K Basketball Lineup L. F. Bostwick. R. G. Todd. R. F. McKnight. Substitutes; Randall, C. Eckert. Smith, Newton. L. G.

Were this not the case a considerable space might be taken in a review of the games and the various causes for defeat, hut we regard it far safer to devote our time and space to the victory and to the eulogizing of the team composed of the fairer sex. Probably no games were better attended than the ones in which the girls took part and “Yea Verily” we got our Money’s Worth. ()f course it filled our hearts with joy when they proceeded to walk away with victory in the game with our old rival Nashville and it could not have been done in a neater or more approved style. We offer our most sincere congratulations to these loyal daughters of the H. H. S. and in conclusion propose this toast: Here’s to the Hastings High School Girls, The best girls on the earth; The witty ones, and pretty ones. And the ones who are full of mirth. 'I lie girls of this old High School Who have toiled here long and well. To drink of the spring of knowledge And learn all (?) the faculty tell. Freshmen newly entered Cute and witty too. Sophomores too self-centered But pure as gold straight thro’. Juniors most (?) important But full of life and fun. Seniors good and jolly Tho soon they will be gone. To this great crowd of winners, The ones we all love most We doff our hats with great respect And to them propose this toast.

Five of the stiffest games have been played and have resulted in victories for the “Yellow and White.” Freeport was first given a shut-out. The score of the Middleville game when called on account of darkness stood 3 to 3 and we had only commenced to play. Charlotte was allowed but one hit. while the H. H. S. garnered eight hits and seven runs. Nashville was a walk-a-way, we winning by a score of 21 to 1. and last but by all means not least was that game with G. R. Union which we won 4 to 2, on their grounds- Bostwick who had never pitched before this season is pitching great ball and we feel sure that this baseball season will long be remembered in the athletic history of Hasting High.

I recall your great pride in the old town and so 1 am sitting down at the close of my first week to write you of the many changes and improvements that have been made, especially the marked contrast in school affairs. You remember that the class of 1916 had counted much on holding their commencement exercises in what we then called the new building. This is now called the old building and is used solely for work in Domestic Science and Manual Arts- The new building covers the entire block where the High School and Grade building stood in our days, and is modern and up-to-date in every particular. Instead of the tiresome and creacking flights of stairs on which we exercised so throroughlv. large elevators take you from door to door. The building is heated and lighted by electricity and all the many new devices to make the work thoroughgoing and satisfactory have lx-en installed. 1 was es- pecially impressed with the great size of the High School of today in com- parison with the one we knew. We numbered three hundred and fifty but now the enrollment is close to the one-thousand mark. This large increase they tell me is due in part to the increased population of the city, but more especially to the ease with which students from all corners of the country now come to I lastings by automobile to take advantage of the many splendid opportunities offered. You will certainly lx glad to hear the library we knew in 1916 is a thing of the past. You remember how whole classes squabbled over one book and we considered ourselves lucky to get a peek at it. Now every desk or table at which the pupils sit in their study hours is supplied with the needed liooks, and more are available at the Carnegie library near by. I was taken back to the old times one morning when 1 attended chapel in the splendid auditorium where, as in our time, they sang Work for the Night is Coming.’ Another rare treat was mine. An old bent man came up on the platform and spoke on “The Piscatorial Art.’’ At once I recognized him as ur Professor Rogers, who is still a disciple of Isaac Walton. 1 spent the rest of the day visiting the different departments. In the Latin class they were studying “The Wanderings of Aeneas.” with the aid of motion picture films. On another door I saw a notice reading, “The Thrilling Ad- ventures of a Microbe. This, too, was an illustrated lecture, proving that u hat had once been a pleasure in education, was now a necessity. Oh! there were so many new things, the well equipped gymnasium, the spiral slide fire-escapes, and dozens of other things equally wonderful. As I left 1 looked back at the building and grounds- It was like a beautiful picture, perfect in every detail, and I felt glad that with these beautiful surroundings, and improved methods of teaching. Hastings was inspiring in her young people ideals of good living and good citizenship. Latin Play ()n March 23, 1916, at St. Rose Hall, the students of the Latin depart- ment presented “A Roman Wedding.” They were assisted by the high school glee clubs who rendered special music. The play consisted of three acts and represented a Roman wedding of 2000 ears ago. '1 he actors sjjoke in the old l-atin tongue, and their dress and man- ners helped to bring out the reality of the scenes they were trying to reproduce. The leading parts were taken by Dorothy Cook who played the part of the bride; Gerald Bush; the groom; Keith Chidester who represented the famous orator Marcus Cicero, the father of the bride; Eva Hecox who took the part of Terentia, mother of the bride; Raymond Warner, the younger brother; and Arnell Wolfe, the father of the groom. All the actors performed their different parts exceptionally well and reflected credit upon their class and old H. H. S. The first scene opened with an amusing family scene in the Cicero family which terminated when Lucius I’iso Erugi was announced. Then followed arrangements for the marriage of I’iso’s son, (iaius, to Cicero's daughter, Tullia. Cicero was at first very unwilling but his wife, not unlike some modern women, insisted because the Piso family was wealthy and their own financial resources were rapidly diminishing. When Tullia was informed of the arrangements made by her parents she was not in sympathy with the idea but as her mother insisted she at last yielded. The second scene was a very interesting reproduction of the Roman wedding ceremony while the third scene showed the wedding procession as the bride was escorted to her new home. Special scenery representing the exterior of a Roman house had been constructed for this scene, and the bridal party and guests, as they crossed the dimly lighted stage with their torches, made a pretty picture. The bride was carried over the threshold lest she stumble, which would be considered a very ill omen by the Romans. There she built a fire upon the altar and then threw the wedding torch to her girl friends as our modern bride throws her bouquet to her friends. A prayer was offered to Juno, the goddess of the home- The members of the Latin department wished the play to be free to every- one so no admission was charged although the expense of production exceeded forty dollars. This money had been earned several weeks before by giving some extra entertainment at the Crown Theatre, in return for which the man- agement allowed the Latin department a percentage of the profits. The play was very successful and a source of pleasure to the actors as well as to the audience. Much of the credit for the success of the play, and the unusual interest taken in the work of the Latin department during the present vear is due to the untiring and efficient efforts of Miss Ann Thomas, director of the department. 69 Our W inner The good news came just before the Maroon and White went to press that Miss Aimee Renkes had been awarded first place in the district oratorical contest held at St. Jose]ill on Friday, May, 12th. Our High School and es- pecially the Senior class can be justly proud of Miss Renkes for this is the first time a contestant from Hastings has gone as far as the state contest. The Tragedy of War, the title of the winning oration, is especially tine in thought and composition and it is well adapted for strong delivery. Miss Renkes won first in our local contest over fourteen other participants and again in the sub-district contest, held at Hastings. Friday, April 28th was awarded first place. In the district contest Miss Renkes won by four points over the nearest contestant. With her winning personality and unusual oratorical ability we may expect a high place for our contestant in the state contest. ♦ From Our Poetess To the Seniors ok ‘T6.” Who we are, you have asked— We as Seniors now are classed While tomorrow we shall be Chips upon a shifting sea.

These plans were successfully car- ried out by a few citizens of the county, who were willing to invest money in a cause that promised such success, and were assured of it after the appointment of Mr. D. C. Vander- cook as County Secretary. Barry County was very fortunate, when she secured Van to head this movement. It is becoming letter known each day that he is “one of the big men of Michigan. It has been through his efforts and perseverance that the Barry County “Y' com- pares so favorably with the leading Y. M. C. A. organizations in Michigan. That he enjoys his work in the midst of the H. II- S. is un- doubted. for where can a better place be found than Hastings? The marked success of this great movement in Hastings, in fact in all Barry County, is due to the fact that the right man was chosen for the right place. Through the Y. M. C. A. the different schools of Barry County have fought athletic contests with cleaner methods and are at pres- ent on more friendly terms than they have ever been. The “Y” not only pro- motes and encourages the athletic spirit among the High School fellows, but also among the younger boys. ( ne of the chief aims of the “Y” is to develop leadership. In just its short course of travel it has organized six groups in Hastings alone, the members be- ing chiefly High School fellows. In just one year’s time it has proven that there are those among our number who have the ability to be leaders of successful groups. Many of our boys have proven themselves capable of this leadership, and that they will succeed in their efforts is without doubt. The following opinions show how the “Y” is valued in Hastings. A mem- ber of our faculty expressed her opinion bv saying, “It has helped to develop leaders of the right sort and raised the ideals of those active in the work, and indirectly of all boys in school.” ()ne of the prominent business men of Hastings said that the effect u]xin our future High School members is to him a most prominent feature. ()ne of the High School Y” members claims that it is the best thing that has ever struck I lastings- Judging from the past two years, the future is foretold. That it will succeed in all that it undertakes and fulfill its puri ose is certain. A time will come when our dear old Van must leave here, but he shall ever be with us in our memories, and his name shall ever dwell in the history of Barry County’s forward move- ments. D. C. V.

THE HASTINGS DRUG CO., Hastings, Michigan PHONE 143 83 Purpose of the Alumni Association When one thinks of the many organizations that are founded with the same general purpose as the I tastings High School Alumni Association, it is easy to understand why we have such an association. The purpose of any social organi- zation is to help its members to gain a little more of the pleasures of life. In all our organizations we are handed together by some common interest. To be eligible we must have completed a course of training that gives us expe- rience in common, whether it be G. A. R. or any of the various fraternal orders. In an organization such as the Alumni Association in which the members have been associated for years, it should mean much to come together and offer con- gratulations on the joys and successes and express sympathy for the sorrows and reverses of each other. )ne of the greatest enjoyments received from such organizations is the ‘‘Get together spirit” which prompts the telling of one’s experiences which are of mutual help. Who among the alumni does not enjoy the half hour preceding the formal meeting when one can talk over the experiences of school life and the happenings of years since graduation? Do we not enjoy as much to offer en- couragement to those just finishing their course of training which makes them eligible? The very fact that we have an organization that has lived and grown all these years bears witness that the purpose of the organization is not a selfish one. When we come together once a year at the Commencement Season and make merrv with a sumptuous banquet, we are carrying forth the purpose in a great degree. Some day we may come to realize a greater purpose, the fulfilling of which will be of more substantial help to the members than encouraging words. 84 Are you thinking of getting a new car this season?
